[Construction and evaluation of new anti-cancer drug prescription support system to promote proper use of anticancer drugs].
In the Nagoya City University Hospital, we started an Anti-cancer drug prescription support system according to which physicians input the injection prescription order from the regimen, together with the Outpatient Oncology Unit established in May, 2007. In order to prepare the anti-cancer drug more safely, we constructed a new Anti-cancer drug preparation support system(new system) at the same time. We investigated and evaluated the time and accuracy required for the preparation between the old and new systems. In the old system, we used electronic calculators or manual methods to perform calculations in the prescription procedure. In the new system, notes are automatically printed out with the kind, amount, and extraction amount of the dissolution liquid according to the dosage of the given anti-cancer drug for the injection prescription. Therefore, even a person with little experience in the preparation can confirm the preparative procedure accurately and promptly. Moreover, this system improves the efficiency of the preparation and it is thought that the utility is high as a part of the risk management.
